Has anyone installed the latest design of the Pentair Globrites (grey body instead of black body) and can attest as to whether they last longer than the previous version that is prone to water infiltration?

Additionally, I'm thinking about replacing my failed light with the option below but unsure as to how it would work with an Intellicenter panel. Currently, I can pick colors and programs via the panel.

If I were to choose the below option, from what I understand, it won't interface with the panel to where you can select colors and programs, but you can turn it on/off via the panel to cycle through the different options. Is that accurate? I emailed the company and they mentioned if I have a light switch, you can turn them on/off, but I'm not sure if that applies to being able to turn them on/off via the panel's LCD screen (or associated app).

Considering the Gen2 Globrites have been available for maybe 6 months, I don't know how anyone can attest to their reliability. Only time will tell.

The issue is the lag between the power pulses when going through the IntelliCenter. There may be too much lag in the ON/OFF cycles for the light to recognize the sequence.

Thank you ajw22. Good point on the new lights. I wasn't aware when they had actually been updated.
